Escape - Harry Styles

Chapter 23.

Chapter 23

"Harry Styles stop whatever you are doing and put your hands above your head!"

I widened my eyes and my lips slightly parted. I clutched onto Harry's phone with my now sweaty hands. We both froze in place, neither of us moving or talking or even try to run. I'm not even sure what to do, do they know that i'm here?

"Harry Styles, I will not repeat myself. Put your hands above your head!"

I saw Harry's Adam's apple moving and with a really slow pace, Harry dropped his car keys and he put his hands above his head. With another glance of me, he faced the police.

2 officers jogged up to him and each one of them caught Harry's arms. Should I run? I don't know what to do. What has Harry done?

"Miss!"

My head jerked to the source of sound. Another young policeman jogged up to me.

"Are you hurt?"

That question made anger built inside of me. What in the world is he talking about? Does it look like i'm 'hurt'? We were actually enjoying our peaceful day until you came.

"Am I hurt?" I questioned him.

His face changed into confusion for a split second but he immediately put on a straight face.

"Yes. Ma'am are you hurt?"

"Does it look like i'm hurt?"

"Ma'am, I-"

"No, let him go this instant." I pointed at Harry.

He opened his mouth to talk but I cut him off immediately.

"I am perfectly fine. No, we were perfectly fine until you guys decided to ruin it! Let him go, now!" I almost screamed.

He was about to open his mouth to speak but a gun shot made all of us silent. I looked back at Harry and I saw one of the police officer clinging onto the car, and what I saw made my heart slow down. He was bleeding! I can see that he was having troubles breathing. Before I could register what happened to him. Another gun shot rang through my ears, I jerked my head to the police officer beside me and his head was bleeding. I gasped and I jerked my head towards Harry's direction. The police officer immediately grabbed Harry and pressed him against his front part, he had an arm on Harry's neck while the other arm was holding a gun next to Harry's temple.

"If you shoot, I shoot this boy! Show yourself!"

I gasped and decided to run for Harry. As I took my 3rd step, another gunshot rang through my ears. Another gasped escaped my mouth, was that the police or was that the sound of another bullet going through the police? I put my shaky hands onto my chest and closed my eyes. Should I look up? I heard footsteps coming near me, my heart pounded against my chest even harder. Is it Harry or is it the police? Suddenly, I felt an arm around my waist. I widened my eyes and screamed. I'm not sure why though.

"Shh, Violet. It's me, it's me."

"Harry?"

I flipped my body so I was facing him. I hugged him right away and sniffed. Tears were forming in my eyes, but I blinked it away.

"What happened?" I sniffed again.

"To be completely honest, i'm not even sure myself." Harry slightly chuckled.

"Aren't you guys going to thank me for saving your lives." Someone chuckled.

I let go of Harry and looked behind him. Blaze was walking towards us with a sniper on his hand. His face had the word "Proud." written all over it. Well, not literally.

"H- How did you even do that?" I asked, with pure amazement.

"Magic." Blaze chuckled.

Harry rolled his eyes and wrapped an arm around my waist. I looked up at him and he looked down at me, for a slight millisecond, I could see the frown in his face.

"What happened?" Harry asked.

"Well." Blaze paused.

"Wait do you hear that?" Blaze widened his eyes.

"Hear what?" I questioned him while raising my eyebrows.

"Shhh." Harry and Blaze said in the same time.

We 3 were silent until I heard a faint sound. It sounds like police sirens. I gasped and Harry quickly dragged me to his car while Blaze ran to the passenger seat.

Harry drove while I was beside him and Blaze sat in the back of the car. Harry sped off and I looked at the review mirror to see if the cops were following us, and thankfully, none of the cops saw or are even following us. I sighed and sat back in the car.
The day was fine until the cops came, oh and speaking of cops, why did they come for Harry?

"Blaze?"

"Yeah?"

"Why did the cops come for Harry?"

"Well, as I said. It's a pretty long story."

"We've got time." Harry said, while concentrating on his driving.

"Alright then. Sit down and relax, children. i'm going to tell a story." Blaze joked while Harry rolled his eyes. I giggled and sat back on my chair.

"Okay, so this morning. Boss wanted to call you for a meeting with everybody else, and he told Aaron to call you. But Aaron being the idiot he is, thought of messing with you. Are you guys catching up?"

We both nodded.

"So Aaron called the police and told them that there was a killing that happened around your neighbourhood and he said that you were the one that was killing innocent people. Of course the police went there to investigate it and they said that there were 4 dead bodies and they were all shot in the head. Aaron told them that it was you and that he saw you killing them. Are you guys following?" He looked at each one of us.

We both nodded and Harry still continued driving.

"Aaron then asked some people in our gang about your location and basically Violet, we have people in our gang that can track people down."

Blaze looked at me and my mouth did an 'O' shape.

"When they found your location, Aaron gave it to the police and basically they found you and yeah." He shrugged.

The car stopped and I looked to the side to see that we are in my house. I exited the car with Blaze and Harry following. We entered my house and sat in the living room. I sat in the couch with Harry beside me while Blaze was on the couch opposite us.

"So this was all because of Aaron?" Harry question.

"Basically." Blaze shrugged.

"That son of a bitch." Harry whispered under his breath.

It was silent between us 3 and when 2 minutes pass, Harry decided to break the silence.

"Blaze." Harry said, with a bit of hesitation in his voice.

"Yeah?"

"Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Yeah sure. Go ahead." Blaze said, sitting back on the couch.

"Privately."

Blaze looked at me, then Harry and he stood up from the couch. I frowned as they both walked out of the living room. I sighed and pulled my legs up against my chest. School starts in a week and a lot of things have been going on ever since that incident when Harry 'broke' into my room. I'm not even sure why i'm friends with two criminals. I'm quite shocked that there are actually 'nice criminals', does that even make any sense? My whole entire life has only consist of bullying in school and my father beating me up. My mother never really cared about me. Sometimes I wonder why they even made me. Sometimes I wonder why I won't just run away, and have a better life. Sometimes I wonder why i'm even alive.

The sound of a door opening and closing made me snap into reality.

"Violet?" Blaze's voice rang through the living room.

"Yeah?"

He came into the living room and one thing I noticed is that Harry isn't with him.

"Where's Harry?"

"Uh- He left."

"Why?"

"He just- I- Violet." He sighed sitting down next to me.

"Harry is too dangerous for you to be around with. It's just the best for him to stay away from you. He feels as if everything happening to you right now is because of him. H-"

"So he left?" I widened me eyes.

"Yes." Blaze said with sympathy in his voice.

"B- But, he didn't even say goodbye."
